ROGUEFISH: THE SHARK IN FILM AND POPULAR CULTURE

by Andy Ross

Emerging from the author's admiration not least for Steven Spielberg's JAWS, but also for the shark as a species, ROGUEFISH- THE SHARK IN FILM AND POPULAR CULTURE (besides offering an insight into the creatures lasting impression on pop-culture) proffer an overview of some 70 shark related feature films that have seen fruition over the last eighty years. Beginning with Zane Grey's WHITE DEATH (1936) and encompassing both Steven Spielberg's JAWS (1975) and Renny Harlin's DEEP BLUE SEA (1999), via the continuing efforts of Nu-Image and the Sy-Fy channel, ROGUEFISH - THE SHARK IN FILM AND POPULAR CULTURE sets out to navigate the most dangerous and darkest of waters. A study of the archetype's notably curious celluloid evolution, in addition to its numerous cross-media appearances, ROGUEFISH - THE SHARK IN FILM AND POPULAR CULTURE similarly explores the emergent 'fish out of water' scenario forwarded by the likes of SAND SHARKS, GHOST SHARK, and the incorrigible SHARKNADO series. A celebration of the shark that encompasses the very best and very worst of the genre, ROGUEFISH - THE SHARK IN FILM AND POPULAR CULTURE explores the bloody film (and associated media) history of man's most feared sea-borne predator.
